Chapter 181: A Wager, Eating from Both Sides

"The other party is called Yun Ruling, the Seventh Prince of the Yunyi Dynasty. I will help you arrange a meeting with his master, and I will let you know the time later," He Luyun said.

"Fine, as long as I can make it in time for registration," Jiang Xun nodded.

"You are very confident?" Seeing Jiang Xun like this, He Luyun couldn't help but ask.

A Transformation Spirit Initial Stage facing a Spirit Transformation Great Perfection—not only is he not panicked, but he is actually looking forward to it, and firmly believes he can win?

This is something that cannot be described merely as arrogance.

"Master, you still lack an understanding of me. Today, I will let you see my strength."

Jiang Xun smiled with great confidence.

"Before you become a Personal Disciple, call me Dao Master," He Luyun glanced at Jiang Xun and said, then vanished before him.

Seeing that He Luyun had left, Jiang Xun finally took off his clothes again, took a comfortable bath, changed into the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe, and waited for He Luyun to notify her.

Speaking of the Yunyi Dynasty... that Yun Qing from the registration office earlier was also royalty from the Yunyi Dynasty.

As someone belonging to this Yun Ruling who sounds very impressive, is he just hunkering down in the registration office as an idle disciple? And his strength is also very weak, only at the Golden Core Late Stage.

This Yun Ruling doesn't even promote his own people.

Jiang Xun waited in the room for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and He Luyun appeared before him again. When she appeared, she was still keeping her head down: "Are you dressed?"

"D-dressed," Jiang Xun nodded.

This person comes and goes as she pleases, doesn't she?

It's a good thing she didn't suddenly pop up yesterday while I was with Jiang Yan in the cultivation room!

"Half an hour from now, come to the No. 3 cultivation room on the first floor," He Luyun looked up at Jiang Xun and said.

"Okay." Jiang Xun nodded, and He Luyun left again.

Logically speaking, a place as large as Tianwai Island must have Battle Platforms for disciples to use, but He Luyun's move was, firstly, to protect Jiang Xun if necessary and save him some face, and secondly, the Master of the Soul Path over there also didn't want to expose Yun Ruling's strength too early, so it was set indoors.

In any case, neither side believed that Jiang Xun would win.

After He Luyun left, Jiang Xun got up and went downstairs immediately, because it would take him a while to find the No. 3 cultivation room...

Sure enough, after going downstairs, it took Jiang Xun about fifteen minutes to finally find the No. 3 cultivation room.

At this time, the room was empty. It was a very spacious area, about five times the size of Jiang Xun's room, completely enough to show off his skills.

"Soul Path cultivators generally have relatively fragile physical bodies. When the time comes, just charge straight at his face. If you seize the opportunity, try your best to land a full-force strike. If he launches a Divine Soul Attack against you, you don't need to be afraid; I am in your divine soul, he cannot touch you."

While Jiang Xun was sitting on the side waiting, Si Yuyan said.

"Yo, is the great beauty Si in a good mood today? You're actually going to help me?"

Jiang Xun teased upon hearing this.

"Stop with the glib tongue," Si Yuyan said coldly: "You dare to propose this kind of battle, aren't you courting death?"

"You think I'll lose too?" Jiang Xun asked upon hearing this.

"You will definitely lose!"

"Wanna bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"Last time you danced for me, this time you dance a striptease for me."

"Get lost!"

"Tch, that's all the guts you have."

Jiang Xun curled his lip.

"Striptease, indeed. What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I'll immediately use a Soul Returning Pill to resurrect you."

"Swear an oath!" Si Yuyan said without hesitation.

"I, Jiang Xun, swear that if I lose to Yun Ruling, I will resurrect Si Yuyan and dance a striptease for her. If I violate this oath, may the gods and spirits destroy me together!"

Jiang Xun was also without hesitation.

"Fine! I, Si Yuyan, swear that if Jiang Xun wins against Yun Ruling, I will dance a striptease for Jiang Xun. If I violate this oath, may the gods and spirits destroy me together!"

After carefully listening to ensure there were no traps in Jiang Xun's words, Si Yuyan also immediately swore the oath.

Si Yuyan knew Jiang Xun's meager strength all too well. Plus, since he couldn't use the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging or the Lingerie-Sect techniques, and could only use the sword moves he had just learned and the Ice Flame he hadn't even figured out himself, Jiang Xun was bound to lose!

Just as the bet was made, the door to the cultivation room was opened, and it was He Luyun who entered.

"You came so early?" He Luyun asked, looking at Jiang Xun who was sitting on the floor.

"Yeah, I had nothing else to do." Jiang Xun stood up and nodded at He Luyun.

"Are you mentally prepared? In case I don't manage to intervene in time, you might die," He Luyun said.

"... Mas... Dao Master, I am at least half a disciple of yours, have a little faith in me," Jiang Xun said helplessly.

"However, I don't think he will deal a lethal blow to you. After all, you are still a prince of the Tianyu Dynasty," He Luyun continued, as if she hadn't heard Jiang Xun speak.

"I won't kill him either, out of consideration for him being a prince of the Yunyi Dynasty," Jiang Xun said.

"But you still need to be careful not to leave permanent damage on your divine soul. When it's time to concede, you should still concede," He Luyun continued, again not listening to Jiang Xun.

"Sigh." Jiang Xun could only sigh helplessly.

"Do you have a way to deal with Divine Soul Attacks?" He Luyun then looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"I do, Dao Master, don't you worry. I will definitely win, otherwise, you can make a bet with me too."

Jiang Xun looked at He Luyun expectantly.

"Do you have no shame? Trying to eat from both sides?" Si Yuyan shouted upon hearing this.

"Didn't you say I would lose? If I lose, wouldn't that be losing on both sides?" Jiang Xun laughed.

"A bet? Not interested." He Luyun shook her head.

"Then you should have a little faith in me," Jiang Xun shrugged and said.

"Then let's make a bet," He Luyun said upon hearing this.

"..." Jiang Xun was helpless: "Master, you say it, what shall we bet on?"

"If you lose... then let me properly study your Ice Flame Spirit Root; go over to the Soul Path side and take a close look," He Luyun said.

"Then if I win, Dao Master, you... why don't you say it yourself?" Jiang Xun looked at He Luyun and said.

"Just say it, I've already seen you all over, don't tell me you're still shy?" He Luyun said with a normal expression.

"Since that's the case, then I'll say it," Jiang Xun nodded, but since it was only their second meeting, he couldn't be too excessive: "If I win, Dao Master, let me see your Heavenly Room."

It sounded like just looking at a room, but thinking deeper, it was seeing the boudoir of an imperial Princess, which could inadvertently pull their relationship closer; over time, it would create the illusion that this person was very intimate with her.

"Just this?" He Luyun clearly did not see through Jiang Xun's little scheme.

"Yes, in case one day I can also live in a Heavenly Room, it's good to have some mental preparation; if I can't live in one, I'll just treat it as feasting my eyes and broadening my horizons."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"... No ambition, fine then," He Luyun nodded.

Jiang Xun certainly wouldn't propose becoming a Personal Disciple; even if he didn't say it, He Luyun would take him in, and besides, after finishing the Top Ranking Challenge, Jiang Xun would be leaving, so what did it matter whether he was a Personal Disciple or not.
